Summary

I have a strong background in the material handling industry and an established track record selling through dealer networks, managing inside and outside sales teams, organizing and presenting sales training and leading marketing efforts. I regularly lead the strategic direction, performance, sales efforts and and growth of organizations. My superior judgment, analytical skills and intuitive abilities combine to maximize new sales opportunities. From managing end-to-end ongoing digital and printed marketing needs to supporting dealers and clients in their training, I focus on making sense of customer needs while keeping financials and bottom line in mind. Whether it’s a small startup, established mid-size, or large publicly traded company, I put in the work needed to adapt, adjust and succeed.
